Andy Platt

Andy Platt was an octochamp in and the runner-up of Series 68, and is a planned participant in Championship of Champions XIV. He is also an Apterite and member of c4countdown.

His octochamp run came when Countdown altered the 15 round format, so his first 4 shows were in the "original" 15 round format, while his second 4 shows were in the "new" 15 round format.

He is the seventh person to have scored a century or more in all of his eight heat games. At the time, he also set a record for aggregate winning margin in preliminary games with 565, but this has since been eclipsed by Dylan Taylor's 628.

He made his CO-event debut at CoChest finishing in 3rd place, which he then followed up with another 3rd place at COLIN 2012, then he won Group B at CoLei5. He subsequently attended COHUD, winning Group C, CobliviLon, COEDI and COLIN 2013, the latter of which resulting in a tie for 4th place with Matt Bayfield. He came 5th at COHUD2.
